Isn't there still food-making material left after making ethanol from corn? The plant we deliver to locally seems to haul a LOT of it out. A lot of that left-over stuff seems to be loaded into containers quickly. I assume containers go on a boat headed for foreign shores. What would they be doing with it there?

If you feed kernel corn to a cow or pig, you get one thing...meat. What's wrong with getting 2 things with that same kernel of corn?

Also, question for OP John....how can you assure yourself, or us, that NONE of that money ever inadvertently appears as a new pickup, or car? One would assume if you used the govt money to pay some input costs, that would then leave other income to be used on non-input items. I am not suggesting that is wrong to do, but that's how it seems to happen to me.
